The Canberra Showcase on 12 November is the culmination of our Entrepreneurial Foundations for Defence+ (EFD+) Program.

This event will spotlight the brilliant innovators behind cutting-edge technologies with promising applications for Defence.

Representing a wide spectrum of products and services, these innovations have the potential to enhance and expand the capabilities of the Australian Defence Force. The 15 early-stage ventures from across the country have leveraged the EFD+ program to refine their value propositions and deepen their understanding of Defence needs.

Attendees can expect to witness an impressive display of diversity and ingenuity across key areas such as energy, survivability, advanced materials, autonomous systems, surveillance, cyber technology, logistics, and training solutions.
